A full moon occurs when the Moon stands opposite the Sun and its entire face is illuminated. It happens roughly every 29.5 days — the heart of the lunar cycle.
Traditionally the full moon stands for culmination: emotions run higher, sleep can be lighter, and whatever grew during the waxing weeks comes to fruition. It is a favourite time for harvesting, celebrating and taking stock.

Frequently asked questions
How often is there a full moon?
On average every 29.5 days — the length of the synodic lunar month. Most years have 12 full moons; occasionally a 13th appears, and the second full moon in one calendar month is called a “blue moon”.
Why does the full moon affect sleep?
Studies suggest people may fall asleep a little later and sleep slightly shorter around full moon nights, likely due to brighter evening light and subtle circadian effects. Individual sensitivity varies a lot.
What is a supermoon?
A full moon that occurs near the Moon’s closest point to Earth (perigee). It appears a few percent larger and up to ~30 % brighter than the smallest full moon.
Is the exact time of the full moon the same everywhere?
Yes — the astronomical moment is a single instant worldwide. Only the local clock time differs by time zone. Our tables show the exact time in UTC.
